Acne & Acne Scars in London
Acne does not always end when a breakout clears. Lingering marks, uneven texture and recurring congestion can continue to affect how your skin looks and feels. At Amer Clinic in Kensington, London, our approach to acne and acne scars begins with understanding your skin, allowing us to recommend treatments suited to active concerns as well as the visible effects previous breakouts have left behind.

Acne & Acne Scars Treatment Overview
Acne and acne scars can present differently from one person to the next, which is why treatment should never be one-size-fits-all. Active acne may involve breakouts, excess oil and congestion, while previous acne can leave changes in tone and texture. At Amer Clinic, we begin with a detailed assessment of your skin before recommending treatment. Your personalised plan may include HydraFacial, Morpheus8, targeted SkinCeuticals skincare or advanced skin analysis, depending on the concerns you would like to address.
Choosing Acne & Acne Scars Treatments
Choosing the right acne and acne scar treatment starts with identifying what your skin needs now. For some patients, the priority is managing active breakouts and congestion. For others, it is improving the uneven tone or texture left behind by previous acne. Our practitioners consider your skin, current concerns and treatment goals before recommending suitable options, allowing us to create a considered treatment plan rather than treating every case of acne or acne scarring in the same way.
Acne & Acne Scars Treatments vs. Similar Treatments
Each treatment addresses a particular aspect of acne and acne scarring. HydraFacial focuses on cleansing, exfoliation, extraction and hydration, making it particularly relevant for acne-prone and congested skin. Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to support collagen and elastin production and improve skin texture. Targeted SkinCeuticals skincare can complement suitable in-clinic treatments, while advanced skin analysis can provide further insight into concerns such as oiliness, bacteria, pigmentation and dehydration before your treatment plan is developed.
Our Acne & Acne Scars Treatments
At Amer Clinic, our approach to acne and acne scars is tailored to the individual. Rather than relying on one treatment for every concern, we consider what is happening within your skin and what you would like to improve. Your personalised plan may bring together treatments for congestion, active acne, uneven tone or changes in skin texture.
HydraFacial for Acne-Prone Skin
HydraFacial offers a multi-step approach to cleansing, exfoliating and hydrating the skin. Glycolic and salicylic acids help unclog pores, while vacuum-assisted extraction removes impurities. Suitable for concerns including acne and congestion, the treatment helps leave the skin feeling refreshed, hydrated and thoroughly cleansed.

We will discuss your concerns, skin history and treatment goals, considering factors such as active breakouts, congestion, uneven tone and texture. From there, suitable acne and acne scar treatment options can be explored with you.
What To Expect During
Your appointment will vary according to the treatment selected.
